Remeber that Realtor.com is an advertising vehicle for 1,000,000
Realtors to find buyers for their 2.5 million in unsold inventory. It
was never designed for you (the public) to easily find a home without
a Realtor.....Do you want your industry to design a website to replace
your job? As professionals we pay thousand to belong to MLS, which
allows us to find and search, in ALL the ways you want.


Are you looking for a home? or Investment.? And what areas of the
country and price range?

Having been a Realtor for over 30 years, I know plenty and know others,
perhaps in your area..

Happy to advise you.
